The browser appears to be a fork of Chrome (or Blink underneath) and you can load some extensions into manually such as Ad Block. The UI is also fairly customisable being fully CSS but currently you have to pop the bonnet and edit it manually yourself.

One thing I noticed is that it's fast. I'm normally a Firefox user, so I'm assuming this is what Chrome users probably experience even with an ad blocker installed.

Some of the people behind this were from Opera and their goals appear to be to restore a lot of the old Opera functionality. Vivaldi already has a bunch of extra stuff built in but it's a developer preview so be aware its not feature complete yet.

It's fast? I tried it and predictably, being built in JS and CSS, the UI was laggy as fuck compared to Chrome or even FF. I'm all for a featureful spiritual successor to Opera but let's not pitch this on the basis of speed.

I dunno what crap tier PC you are using it on, its just as fast or faster then Firefox for me.
